This seems like a potentially interesting article with a very poor title. None of the 6 lessons cited seem to have anything to do with why the lander's anchoring mechanism failed to deploy.
(At least, that's my reading of the brief quotes from the original report; so much of the context has been removed or aggressively summarized that it's hard to be sure what they're talking about.)
The "developer's confession" part seems to insinuate that a software problem was to blame, but nowhere in the article is that actually stated.
- belter 5y agoNot only that, not enough time was spent on detailing the sensors and systems used to implement fail over, why sometimes there were fail over components while for other systems there was a single point of failure. Would be nice to have a reasoning why some components had redundancy while others not.
